Ted Danson Tells Martha Stewart He Can't Cook and Talk at the Same Time (VIDEO)

Sure, Ted Danson can talk and cook at the same time if a role calls for it. But today on 'The Martha Stewart Show' (weekdays, 10AM on Hallmark), he admitted that would just be a fine bit of acting. In real life, talking and cooking are too difficult for Danson to pull off simultaneously.

Danson was stirring contents in a bowl for a recipe while Stewart asked him about 'Bored to Death' and his busy schedule. Danson stopped stirring and declared it impossible to talk and cook. Stewart pointed out that Danson is an actor, and he said, "I pretend to cook" and pantomimed stirring while talking. He may use the occasional interjection while cooking at home.

From that point, Danson was just an assistant, helping Stewart finish the recipe. What else does Danson not know how to do? Can he not mix drinks like Sam? Can he not set a splint like Becker? Can he not raise a child awkwardly yet hilariously with two other men? Sorry you had to find out this way, Danson fans.
